Chapter 984 - 926: Encountering the Hypnotic Sea Demon
As players all around the world were astounded by the actions in Japan, Da Fei remained oblivious to the outside world, focused solely on his single-player journey.
——System Prompt: You have sailed in special sea areas for over four days, you and your team heroes gain an additional 120,000 experience points for the God-level Navigator Skill "Sailing Training," and your team gains extra potential for growth!
The second day under the Arctic ice cap had passed, with the day’s activities only involving navigation, resulting in much less extra experience from Sailing Training. The dark environment of the ice sea, surrounded by towering ice reefs, left no room for distraction or study gatherings, especially since Selvia and Anlicia, who had just learned Light Magic, were busy running around healing troops with no time for reading.
In short, it was a very dull journey, and the thought of how long this monotony would last made Da Fei feel even more uncomfortable.
Just as he was feeling exasperated, ethereal singing echoed from afar in the ice cave, sending a jolt through Da Fei’s heart—it was the Siren!
At that moment, Renior’s shadow appeared immediately: "Warrior, it’s the Siren Sea Demon, do you have earplugs?"
Da Fei hurriedly shook his head: "No!"
Renior said solemnly, "Encountering this level of Siren might render earplugs useless. This is the Sea Demon’s Song, and its echo in this underground ice cave can travel very far. She may be several nautical miles away, making it difficult for us to pinpoint her location. But our sailors and troops, upon hearing her song, either go crazy or fall asleep. The song itself has a more gentle sleep effect, which is trivial under normal circumstances, but in this extreme Arctic cold, if our troops fall asleep, they may never wake up, do you understand this? So you must counter her song with another song until we are far enough away."
Selvia stepped forward and said, "Leave it to me. I have a harp given to me by the Mermaid Saint, and it should suffice to counter a song from such a distance."
Da Fei was stunned: "And what about healing?"
Selvia frowned and said, "I’ll find a way to manage, just hope we can leave this Siren soon."
Da Fei said gravely, "Then that’s the only choice we have."
Soon, a melodious sound of harp echoed in the silent ice sea, and finally, Da Fei was no longer bored in his predicament, though it was still just as exasperating.
Meanwhile, the teams with healing abilities, the Angel Army, Druid, and Vine Demon Army were busily healing, while Da Fei’s Blood Eagle circled the area, attempting to locate the Siren. Time passed minute by minute, the Siren’s song continued unbroken, and the Blood Eagle found nothing. Besides, even if they did find the Siren, what could they do? She could fly and dive, it wasn’t like they could give chase and cut her down with a ship, could they?
Half an hour had passed, yet the song persisted, with the fleet showing no sign of distancing itself from it. Da Fei’s patience was swiftly wearing thin in his anxious frustration.
At this moment, Renior reappeared: "Warrior, it seems this is not just a Siren we happened across by chance; we are being targeted. This is a test of our endurance, and we must hold out to the end!"
Da Fei furrowed his brows, indeed—it was the most distressing scenario. While I do have endurance, the burden of healing is overwhelming, isn’t it?
Suddenly, Da Fei was reminded of Hilda, a laid-back person. She was an all-around sports teacher, at least she was associated with the Lilim Angel Association’s Healing Skills, right? Requesting her assistance was the only option.
Da Fei hurriedly rushed to the bar, and upon entering, he saw over twenty dancers in work overalls, sitting tightly huddled together, eyes closed and motionless.
Are they asleep? Huddling for warmth? While Da Fei was puzzled, Hilda clapped her hands and laughed, "Lord City Lord came just in time, I have good news. These ladies might regain their abilities."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, "What abilities?"
Hilda laughed, "Thanks to the City Lord’s rigorous navigator training strengthening their potential, along with the Angel and Miss Selvia’s continuous Healing Skills, they’ve rediscovered a familiar feeling from their time as Sacrifices. Now, they have a small amount of mana value. They are in meditation, feeling the mana further and increasing their mana cap. I believe it won’t be long before they can relearn the Healing Skills."
Da Fei was ecstatic! Wow, truly not a waste to have brought them along through thick and thin; they are finally gaining potential and no longer dull! Speaking of which, when they were encouraged by Ista last time, they asked me, this must be a sign of their ability recovery!
Hilda continued to smile, "Considering they were arranged by the City Lord to help me unconditionally, I will also teach them for free this time—so say your thanks!"
Da Fei suddenly realized, "So it was Miss Hilda guiding them!"
Hilda chuckled, "You think? I can teach kids as young as three, four, or five years old, let alone adults like them. In any case, I must keep an eye on their meditation state and wait for the City Lord’s good news. Oh, by the way, should Lord City Lord’s Angel Instructor Elifel be available, why not ask him to help? See if he can assist in teaching them the Healing Skills. Once they successfully learn a spell, they can practice repeatedly, increasing their familiarity without needing me to teach further."
So that’s how it is! Since she’s also busy and can’t leave, it’s best not to miss a free opportunity with Hilda. Da Fei immediately agreed, "I’ll send Elifel to assist right away!"
Hilda exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t there considerable pressure on healing outside?"
Da Fei gritted his teeth, "It doesn’t matter, push the limits! This is how strong soldiers are trained, and once they are developed, the external healing pressure will lessen."
Hilda laughed, "Worthy of being the City Lord, alright, I’ll challenge the limits and give it my all in teaching them. I must say, besides having extraordinary perseverance, their comprehension is indeed quite the challenge, far worse than three, four, or five-year-old children."
Now, Elifel was redirected to the bar by Da Fei, and Da Fei again handed him the Governor Instructor Medal, which could enhance teaching effectiveness, and entrusted him solemnly, "They aren’t even Angels, nor are they troop types, theoretically beyond your teaching ability. However, if Miss Hilda calls for your assistance, it surely means she recognizes your worth. To me, this is about exceeding your limitations. Once surpassed, you’ll ascend to a whole new level!"
Elifel replied solemnly, "Rest assured, my lord, I will do my utmost!"
Excellent, now it’s about enduring. If the healing really can’t keep up, just don’t heal the Jungle Hunter Unit, let them drop. I at least have the survival will skill to hold out a bit. To think, I got through the Dragon King’s tomb unharmed, yet couldn’t avoid being embarrassed by a mere lullaby!
